Description

The 2.0 version has been featured on the Android Market and made it to the top selling list!!

Keychord is the dynamic dictionary / reference app for piano chords and scales. Use it to find all the scales and chords! Also included is a 5 octave multitouch piano!

In short: Easy virtual keyboard to lookup and play around with all chords and scales. Lots of chordtypes and scaletypes to choose from. Also reverse lookup and staff view.Included is the 5 octave scrollable multitouch minipiano with 128 different sounds from Mini Piano Pro.

In detail:KeyChord is built around a virtual keyboard that you can use to interact with the selected chord- or scaletype. You can for instance tap on a key to make it the root of the chord or you can longpress a selected chordnote to invert the chord to that position. Same goes for scales. Tap a already selected rootnote for different kind of information modes like note-names or intervals.

Everything is dynamic, we don't use a database to give you a few predefined chord locations, but we know how a chord works and let you select a chord everywhere you want.

To add to the dynamic nature of this app, we also included a reverse lookup, both for chords and scales. Easily select the notes of the chord you have in mind (or have discovered on your piano) and let KeyChord tell you how it's called. It supports even missing notes (Like CMaj7 (no 5th)).

Audio playback is also enabled in all modes.

As bonus the playable piano from Mini Piano Pro (128 sounds and 5 octaves) is included.

Ideal companion for a learning fakebook or realbook jazz piano.

Liked it. Would be 5 if it had a favourites option I realise there is a favourites bit but for the life of me I can't seem to add my favourites. Don't know if they are just ones I use alot. But I would like the option the save the ones I choose. If I'm missing something obvious please let me know.

Excellent app... Excellent app, a couple of errors in some of the scales, but very useful!

A songwriter's dream come true Billy Joel and I have three things in common. 1. We play the piano 2. We write songs 3. We can't read music This is more common than you might think. When I write my lyrics I like to include the chord names, but this is a slow and laborious task if you don't have a clue what the chord names are. This app has come to my rescue. I bought it just for the reverse look up, but in time I will probably discover other hidden gems. If I knew how to reach Billy Joel I'd tell him about this. If any of you know him make sure you mention it, will ya?

Great app Thankyou for the slash chord support. Shame you can't enter slash chords in the staff view. Also, it seems odd that only a small portion of the keyboard is shown in "Chords" view (only 1.5 octaves can be scrolled), yet many octaves are shown in the "Reverse Chords"view (5 octaves can read scrolled). This seems like a bug. Galaxy S3. Also, there's heaps of space on the screen, you should be able to display the inversion AND the slash chord at the same time in "Chords" view without having to switch in menu

Great music tool This app does everything I need with a fast and clean interface. Displays chords from root key, scales and a little midi keyboard / recorder with multiple sounds. Compositions can be shared via email or you can browse to "/sdcard/minipiano/" so your musical doodles aren't wasted!

Well worth the price This app gets me amped about taking on the monumental task of legitimately learning to play. It is an extraordinarily designed, complete learning tool and reference. Best piano app, hands-down.

Not Just for Piano This well thought out app puts a scale and chord syllabus right on your phone. I play sax and I love the app, especially the staff view. The interface is clean, efficient, and logical after short use. I must say the mini piano included sounds astonishingly good and the action on the keys is the best I have ever seen for a piano app...
